We love comments from our readers, especially ones that point out an error. We try our best to bring you correct information, but research being what it is is not always perfect.
Recently Paul Cooper let us know the name of the resident who Harrison Street & Woodbury Street was named after was incorrect. From the following article we can guess Mr Cooper is a relative, and somewhat more of an expert than this writer. So thank you for helping us.
After a quick search for the correct name, I was able to come across some more information about James Start Harrison. With such credentials it is a fitting tribute to have his name honoured in our streets.
